IE special rule kills the output

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Minify version: 2.1.3.
PHP version: 5.2.12.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. just add a block like this ino the css
/* IE FORM ELEMENT FIX */
* html input.checkbox {
    margin:-1px -2px;
} 

Expected output:
something like
* html input.checkbox{margin:-1px -2px;} 
^keeping the spaces after '*' and between margins too
Actual output:
*html input.checkbox{margin:-1px-2px;}

Replace /min/lib/Minify/CSS/Compressor.php with this new version:
http://code.google.com/p/minify/source/browse/branches/2.1.4/min/lib/Minify/CSS/
Compressor.php

With it I get this valid output:

* html
input.checkbox{margin:-1px -2px}

If this doesn't help, could you attach the whole problem file or whittle it 
down to
the smallest case where the error occurs?

Sorry, all i'm using from your package is the
http://code.google.com/p/minify/source/browse/trunk/min/lib/JSMin.php file 
itself
with a constructor and then min() call.
Is this something wrong with this approach?
All i want is to have the file minified after all.

Yes :) You want Minify_CSS_Compressor for CSS. I've seen at least one framework
trying to use JSMin for CSS (with very buggy results) so you're not the first.
